Social Skills Group

Peak Potential Therapy’s Social Skills Group represents a fusion of social development ideologies and therapeutic approaches. For children, through play, they “work.” Much of the learning a child does is through play activities. During play, many communication skills are learned and practiced, such as: taking turns, making eye contact, using gestures and body language, labeling actions and objects, and repeating speech. Our Social Skills Groups use play as the primary medium to enhance language comprehension and expression.

Sessions are:

Facilitated by a licensed professional, Speech-Language Pathologist, or Occupational Therapist
60 minutes long
Recurring weekly; ongoing sessions through May 2024, but ask that families commit for 10 weeks to try it
Center-based in Northfield, Ohio, unless otherwise noted
Offer a ratio of 6 children to 1 therapist and 1 aide
Include a free 30-minute phone consult prior to the start of the first session
May incorporate other settings to generalize skills
If you have questions regarding the Social Skills Groups, contact the st aff at Peak Potential Therapy.

Social Skills Group: Level 1 (children ages 3 to 5)

Session #2: Wednesday, 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. Status: 6 spots available

This is the first step to learning social interaction, communication skills, and sensory exploration and regulation. Our sessions will include arts and crafts, fine and gross motor play, games, pretend play, and more. Children will be using the Ready Body Program to teach important skills to be safe and have fun while playing and socializing.

Social Skills Group: Level 2 (children ages 5 to 8)

Session #1: Tuesdays, 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Status: 1 spots available

Session #2: Thursdays, 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Status: 2 spots available

This is the second step to learning the skills to play, talk, and interact with peers in many contexts. One of the best ways to learning these skills is through facilitated play. Children will continue using the Ready Body Program and interact with peers during a variety of activities, including arts and crafts, games, music, and pretend play to encourage group participation.

Social Skills Group: Level 3 (children ages 9 to 12)

Session: Wednesdays, 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Status: 3 spots available

This is the third step to learning the skills needed for upper-elementary grades. At this level, play becomes more sophisticated and is centered on favorite interests. The components of this group will be expanding interests, using favorites for motivation, and active games. Pop culture topics, such as current books and movies, will be discussed.

Social Skills Group: Level 4 (children ages 13 to 18)

Session #1: Tuesdays, 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Status: 3 spot available

Session #2: Thursdays, 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Status: 3 spot available

Sessions meet at the center and then go into the community to focus on generalizing social, job, and life skills.

Note: your child will be charged anywhere from $15 to $50 per art class depending on what they choose to construct. This fee will be added to the cost of the Social Skills Group rate.

This is the fourth step to learn team-building skills. The teens will be encouraged to work in parallel engagement while utilizing social skills to complete tasks. While doing so, they improve their skills in listening, following directions, and giving directions. Many fun projects will be completed during their time together. Community outings may be scheduled based on clients’ needs to generalize skills.
